I'd like to run two SSH daemons on the same machine. They will listen on different ports and have other differences in their configuration. I want these two daemons to be independent of each other: either can run while the other is stopped. I need to do this for recent (systemd) machines and for older ones (SysV). I'm finding that, although the SSH daemon records its PID in a file, that file is not configurable. Consequently, it seems that stopping one of the daemons causes the other to also stop. Same for starting one. Here is the procedure I'm using to setup the second daemon on SysV. (The first one is the standard daemon normally running. I haven't tried yet on systemd.) cd /usr/sbin; ln -s sshd xsshd cd /etc/pam.d; ln -s sshd xsshd cp /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd /etc/rc.d/init.d/xsshd # edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/xsshd to reference a different config file # and the new program name, xsshd chkconfig --add xsshd I realize that I might be able to workaround these difficulties, or some of them, by revising the standard system control files. I'd like to avoid doing that and just fit within the Fedora framework. Is that likely to be possible? -- Dave Close -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
